Step 1: Assembling the Speakers

(BDV-IT1000 only)

You can set speakers in two ways using stands: if you would like to place them on a floor, use speaker stands (page 23) and if on a desk, shelf, etc., use desktop stands (page 31). Before connecting the speakers, assemble the speakers.

Caution on using the speakers

Getting Started

• When moving the speakers, keep one hand under the desktop stand and hold both sides of the speaker.

When you use speaker stands with the speakers, hold the pole and the base.

with your foot.

• Avoid placing the center speaker on the TV.

• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.

• Avoid placing the speakers in locations that are: – Extremely hot or cold – Dusty or dirty – Very humid – Subject to vibrations – Subject to direct sunlight

• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed,

oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

• Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.

• Do not bend, twist, or fold the speaker grille. (BDV-IT1000 only)

• Do not insert an object (especially metal) into a hole on the front part of the speaker. (BDV-IT1000 only)

• Avoid placing the speakers close to a CRT-based TV. It may cause color irregularity. (BDV-IT1000 only)

• When using the speaker stands, we recommend that the speakers are installed on a flat and firm floor (not on a thick

pile carpet, for example). The speakers may topple over if installed on an inclined or soft floor.

• When you change the positions of the speakers, Sony recommends that you change the settings. For details, see

“Calibrating the Appropriate Settings Automatically” (page 108) and “Setting the Speakers” (page 110).

About the HDMI connection

If you connect a 1080/24p- or 1080p-compatible TV, use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you connect a Sony TV that is compatible with the Control for HDMI function (page 105), operation is simplified (ex. ONE-TOUCH PLAY: With one touch of the button, the connected TV turns on and the input selector on the TV is switched to the system automatically). For details, see “Using the Control for HDMI Function for “BRAVIA” Sync” (page 105).

Note

• Be sure to use only an HDMI cable that bears the HDMI logo.

Getting Started

• When connecting the HDMI cable, make sure that the direction of jacks are the same.

To connect to a TV with DVI input

Use an HDMI-DVI converter cable (not supplied). The DVI jack does not accept audio signals; therefore, the sound is not output from a TV. Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).

About DCS (Digital Cinema Sound)

In collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony measured the sound environment of their studios and integrated the data of the measurement and the Sony DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology to develop “Digital Cinema Sound.” “Digital Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theater an ideal movie theater sound environment based on the preference of the movie director.

About “MOVIE-D.C.S.-”

“MOVIE-D.C.S.-” is ideal for enjoying movie software encoded with multi channel format, such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This mode reproduces the sound characteristics of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s studios. “MOVIE-D.C.S.-” consists of the following three elements.

• Virtual Multi Dimension The system creates five sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener from a single pair of actual surround speakers.

• Screen Depth Matching In a movie theater, sound seems to come from inside the image reflected on the movie screen. This element creates the same sensation in your listening room by shifting the sound of the front speakers “into” the screen.

• Cinema Studio Reverberation The system reproduces the reverberations

peculiar to a movie theater.

“MOVIE-D.C.S.-” is the integrated mode which operates these elements simultaneously.

Note

• The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise in the playback signal.

• With decoding modes that use virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surround speakers.

Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

What is the Radio Data System?

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. This tuner offers convenient RDS features, such as station name display. The station name appears on the TV screen as well. RDS is available only for FM stations.*

Note

• RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly, or if the signal strength is weak.

* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do

they provide the same type of se rvices. If you are not familiar with the RDS system, check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.

Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station from the FM band.

When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the station name* appears in the front panel display.

* If an RDS broadcast is not received, the station

name may not appear in the front panel display.
